Robert "Kurrgan" Maillet is a Canadian professional wrestler and actor known for his tenure in the World Wrestling Federation (or WWF, now known as the WWE).

A French Canadian from rural New Brunswick, it was clear from an early age that Robert Maillet would be a very big boy. In the first grade he stood taller than his teacher and that made him awkward and a bit shy, so growing

up he took shelter in his own dreams. One of those dreams was to become a professional wrestler, and for a time he realized that dream with a successful career in the WWF. At the urging of a friend, he brought the confidence and poise learned in the ring to the big screen. Among his most memorable performances are the terrifying Uber Immortal in Zack Snyder's "300," for which he won the MTV Movie Award for Best Fight Scene in 1997, the ominous and powerful Dredger in Guy Ritchie's "Sherlock Homes," and the unstoppable Minotaur in Tarsem Singh's "Immortals."
